Main opposition SYRIZA-EKM on Sunday commented on Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' visits to China and Azerbaijan, accusing the government that it has no plan apart from "turning the country into an immense Exclusive Economic Zone, a haven for local and international business capital and a hell for workers and the majority of society."

"While the Greek economy is collapsing as a result of the memorandum's policy and society is suffering from unemployment and poverty, the prime minister signs agreements to sell off the state's wealth and christens them 'investments'," the party's announcement said.

According to the announcement "the sellout of our strategic tools for growth and public property, the destruction of the environment and the dismantling of the welfare state, together with the starvation wages, turn the country into a third world state. Only the abrogation of the memorandum and its replacement wtih a national plan of productive reconstruction, development and support of the employment can halt the course towards disaster." (AMNA)
